Barnes Bullets Original 50 Cal (0.510'') Flat Nose Fb 300Gr 20/Box
$31.16
Barnes Original 50 caliber bullets bring century-old proven design to modern reloading. These .510" flat-nose rounds carry on Fred Barnes's legacy from the 1930s, built with thick pure copper jackets and pure lead cores engineered to deliver reliable expansion and deep penetration on heavy game. At 300 grains, they're purpose-built for larger-frame rifles and hunters who demand consistent, predictable bullet performance downrange.
The flat-base, flat-nose profile gives you a traditional ballistic shape that's earned its reputation across generations of hunters. With exposed lead at the nose, you get the expansion characteristics Barnes Original bullets are known for—up to 200% diameter expansion while retaining 70% to 90% of original weight. That combination means deep, reliable penetration paired with consistent energy transfer, whether you're reloading for deer, elk, or other large game.
These are component bullets, so reloading accuracy and safety are on you. Barnes Originals demand respect and attention to load data; work up your loads carefully and always consult published reloading manuals for your specific rifle and powder combination. Each box contains 20 bullets, giving you a practical quantity to test loads or feed a productive season.
